This piece is called “Bright Destination,” in which I’m shown walking out of my room. I chose to capture the back of my body as I walk out to emphasize the darkness that I’m escaping. My room represents my old habits and character, while the light represents my unprecedented future yet hope for a better change. I wanted this investigation to stand out from my past work, which captured other people’s lives and environments, and instead, I focused on my own. I also wanted to go beyond the basic portrait to offer a deeper look into how reflection shapes my identity. The small details in this piece, like the cluttered dresser top and the painting in the closet, show a glimpse into my habits and personality. This is contrasted by the bright doorway, almost completely white, showing a new reality and environment, neither good nor bad, yet will be shaped by my own hopes and goals. Change is sometimes scary because of uncertainty, yet you can embrace it to become something better. This investigation has not only helped me express my identity but also confront my habits and obstacles hindering my progress.
